91. Antwoine Washington: Art Strokes for Black Folks

Conversation For Adults

Antwoine Washington is a Michigan-born artist with a mission to create a collaborative platform for black voices. The Museum of Creative Human Art is a safe space for local artists to empower themselves and find solutions to the entrenched problems plaguing the community.

For a long time he silenced himself, spending years slogging away at a post office like a black Buckowski, before stepping into the role as a full-time artist. We talk about his creative drive, why he can’t find funding within the black community, and his plans to independently scale his project to get more kids off the street and onto canvas.
